I wholeheartedly agree with your review! What a deliciously creepy undercurrent of events, coupled with some beautiful breakthroughs for our leads. Not to mention, the really stellar cast of supporting actors. I am truly in awe and amazed at how interested I still am at each of the side stories, equally tickled by the interactions between all of the supporting characters. I also can't say enough about our main leads, such incredibly, nuanced acting and a relationship that feels very authentic and honest to me. It is rare to have an onscreen OTP this honest with each other. Their chemistry and "getting to know each other" feels real to me, I totally understand why these characters would actually fall in love with each other. I feel like they are actually taking the time to get to know each other deeply, and in turn, know themselves deeply.

Oooh, what a beautiful drama. Seriously, it pulled me out of my lurking game, and on to posting comments because it is just. that. good.

Thank you for recapping, and offering such insightful reviews week to week. :D

This couple is killing me! How their friends can't see how they are interrupting them?! They're lucky to be interesting and funny too! (although I have a little trouble following the twin sister's past love story)

I loved how the great psy who doesn't believe in magazine quizz still did it to learn about dating. He just followed the advice (the voiceover by the little kid was a funny touch :D). He's an observer and adapts his words to not hurt her like "not a girlfriend but someone I like". I like his honesty. He hide nothing to the brother :D

Da-Jung looks better than at the beginning and I hope she became strong enough because it looks like the past will hit her strongly.

For the mystery, my biggest question how the Vice-Chairman is related to their past? She knows the mystery guy, Ian's past, Da-Jung's father?

Wowee this couple is fast becoming my fave OTP! I feel giddy just watching them. I just love the way they both light up in each other's presence. How can the people around them not tell they're in love when they're as subtle as a sledgehammer lol. The scene where DJ shared her past trauma with YD was phenomenal. As if there was ever any doubt, it's SHJ. I'm so glad this drama casted actors who can act and effortlessly so. Bring on the healing and a happy ending for all pretty please.

Back to the OTP, I'm sure any other dramas I would be ready to be upset on the heroine's behalf at the ML's jerky denial of their relationship status. What we get with YD is completely different, and refreshingly so, as he himself is very much aware and openly acknowledged his affections for her right away to prevent hurting DJ's feelings. No unnecessary angst, heartache or sleepless nights mulling over what was said. That's some relationship goals right there! I love me a gruffy, tsundere type of hero ala Do Min Joon too but YD being an adorable klutz is now my fave lol.

Regarding the mystery why do I get the feeling that DJ's dad is somehow related to this. I think Ian Chase is the twin who you DJ thought patted her on the head but didn't and he called her a fool then. That's why he said "You're 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 a fool". I might be reading to much into it but when he said it's my left hand that's bleeding why are you scared of my right, I understood it to mean left hand = his twin brother.

The way Seo Hyun Jin tell the story of Da Jung’s trauma just so realistic yet authentic of acts. A solid acting. The way she hesitates, then force herself to tell the story, every silent between sentences, eyes closed to see the memories, heart open to let it go, her body language speaks of excruciating pain, and scream of guilt when YD hugs her. What an actress.

I love seeing the aftermath of a kiss and theirs was perfect. Lol, it was a good kiss and the awkwardness was hilarious. I love that they went right back to texting after. I just want to protect them. Nam Gyu Ri is murdering this role, she is so funny in this. As for our Doctor Ian Chase, I don't think he did it, that would be too obvious, but who knows.

And what's with the inheritance letter? And what about the lawyer and the thugs? There is a bigger story going on behind the scenes.

@missvictrix re:"It’s pure magic. I want to marry whoever shot this scene; the lighting is impossibly great." - the directing is amazing and the actors also put a lot of thoughts into everything. I loved watching the BTS, I swooned Everytime SHJ called KDW oopaa. https://youtu.be/U2VIEhHv6MU
KDW doesn't look very comfortable sitting at first. Him changing the position of his hands was hilarious. His smile is so boyish and charming. They look like they genuinely had a good time filming the series!

The shadow flipping scene was amazingly shot too.
I'm dead by how beautiful this drama written, acted and shot ♥️♥️♥️

This drama gets better and better every week, but this week in particular packed a real punch. The performances, camera work, editing and story progression were top notch. There was no filler. I'm still amazed by how well this drama not only balances the light and dark but actually weaves them together in a way that makes sense.

So many fantastic moments this week, but SHJ's office breakdown was an incredible performance, and the delicacy with which KDW's own responded made that scene a master class. The transition to tissues and tteokbokki (working drama title, ha) was phenomenal.

I registered on this site to ask people who have Korean cultural context a question about the date scene. When Young-do repeats that Da-Jung is not his girlfriend but the person he likes, does that come across as something a younger person would say? It was so sweet, especially after the scene last week where he tried to persuade her he only wanted to be friends. (I love Kim Dong Wook for making it obvious how much he didn't mean that.)

Really enjoying the mesh of different tones in You Are My Spring. Glad they cleared up what happened after her mom brought a knife into the bedroom before they left. My brain kept flopping over the what ifs... but then that might be another reason I like the show, various things to speculate about. (Who is the kid underneath the tree? If the mother kept one of the children, then this child someone else entirely?)

The only thing I didn't like about the camping was the boxing instructor wasn't invited. I'd like to see more of her.

Did anyone catch the show Gayoung is starring in is called The princess- Eternal princess. LOL. It’s because the director is the one who did The King.

These episodes are my favorites. Really love the progression of their relationship. Also, aside from a drama within the drama, there was a variety show, too. LOL!

Love reading ur review & all the comments here. Its quite sometime am over the top grinning & keep replaying the scenes, its really a vitamin after a stress work life. Kim Dong-wook & Seo Hyun-jin acting & chemistry is soo good. Love them & all their entourage. and then just closed eyes to all the creepy things..hee

I love this drama🤗

One sign of how underrated this fantastic series is is the absence of this kiss in the list of best K-Drama on-screen kisses.

Also the absence of Kim Dong-Wook in any "best K-drama male kisser" lists.
